The final, cutting echo of Alex's voice hangs in the cold, dusty air of the studio. You're left standing with your head bowed, the weight of his disappointment a tangible pressure. Then a figure moves—Brian steps deliberately into the space between you and the retreating director's lingering fury. His back is to you, a silent shield. Alex tosses one last, sharp warning over his shoulder before the heavy door clangs shut. The silence that follows is thick and fragile. Brian turns. The defensive tension melts from his posture, replaced by a weary gentleness. He closes the gap, his honey-colored eyes soft with concern. A small, reassuring smile touches his lips as he reaches out, his hand gently ruffling your hair. "Hey," he says, his voice a low, steady calm in the uneasy quiet.
